Malignant Endocrine System Neoplasm (VA Diagnostic Code 7914)
Understanding This Condition
A malignant neoplasm of the endocrine system refers to cancer affecting any specified part of the endocrine system. The VA evaluates this condition under Diagnostic Code 7914, found in § 4.119 of the VA rating schedule for the Endocrine System.
Available Rating Level
Under Diagnostic Code 7914, there is a single rating level:
| Rating | Criteria |
|---|---|
| 100% | Neoplasm, malignant, any specified part of the endocrine system |
What the VA Looks For
When rating a malignant endocrine neoplasm, the VA applies the following rules:
-
A 100 percent rating continues beyond treatment. The 100 percent evaluation shall continue beyond the cessation of any surgical, X-ray, antineoplastic chemotherapy, or other therapeutic procedure.
-
A mandatory examination follows treatment. Six months after discontinuance of such treatment, the appropriate disability rating is determined by a mandatory VA examination.
-
Changes in evaluation follow a specific process. Any change in evaluation based upon that examination — or any subsequent examination — is subject to the provisions of § 3.105(e) of this chapter.
-
Rating on residuals. If there has been no local recurrence or metastasis, the condition is rated on its residuals.
